Benefits of technology

[0016]The Dive Caddy is designed to travel easily over sandy areas, as some of the other carts do. It is also able to travel easily up and down trail systems well, as it is equipped with Mountain bike style tires, and a similar breaking system for slowing the loaded cart going down hills. One option for the Dive Caddy will be an optional battery powered electric motor to assist in getting out of muddy areas, or traveling uphill. It also will work very well at Motels, Hotels, Dive shops with great distances to the boat, and on Ferry Boat systems, such

Problems solved by technology

Problems with existing carts are several.
Most have very small tires that make it hard to pull the equipment over a sandy beach, or up and down rocky terrain and trails.
Another problem is not having the efficiency and convenie

Example

[0024]Two wheels are used as shown in Item 1, fitted with a rubber mountain bike type tire for rough terrain, a balloon type tire for sandy beach like applications, or any other type tire needed for any terrain encountered are used here. This wheel assembly is mounted on an axle of size and strength as to satisfy all structural, functional, and safety needs. This axle is attached to the wheel fork assembly.

[0025]As shown in Item 2, the wheels are attached to a wheel fork assembly, which can be made from standard mountain bike parts. The forks are attached to wheel on each side of the wheel just like on a bicycle, with nuts tightened on to the axle which is part of the wheel assembly. This wheel fork assembly is then attached to a u shaped cross member that pivots on the main frame of the cart. This is held in place by collars fixed to the cart allowing the two frames, main cart frame, and wheel fork frame, to be attached to each other, but still allowing the wheel fork frame assembl...

Abstract

The Dive Caddy is a two wheeled land vehicle with it's primary purpose being to transport scuba diving equipment across tough terrain such as sandy beaches, rocky trails, and other hard to traverse, or reach scuba diving, or free diving locations. It is different than other prior carts in as that it has a breaking system for traveling down hills, And can be fitted with an auxiliary battery powered booster motor to traverse uphill, or help bring itself out of hard to exit situations, and also has a bench seat to stage a completed scuba unit for the diver to sit on while dawning his equipment. Another new feature of the Dive Caddy is that it has the ability to change tires for different types of terrain, be it sandy beaches, rocky hills, or mud, the Dive Caddy can adapt to them all.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]With the increase in popularity of scuba diving for sport, came an increase in need for devices to transport all of the equipment necessary for one or more divers to an increasing number of dive sites. Typically, divers are limited to areas where they can drive to, or load their gear on a boat with a lot of work involved in getting all their gear to the actual site, or the boat. Many possible great dive sites are overlooked due to the logistics of getting the equipment to the site easily, and staged for diving. The Dive Caddy facilitates the ability for divers to load their dive gear, even before leaving home, on the Dive Caddy, transporting the equipment close to the site, and once staged there, using the Dive Caddy to get the gear to whatever actual site the diver chooses to use.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]There are several other carts on the mark...
